really hits home out there”

(Newly qualified nurses, 2013)

Aim:

To investigate whether bladder scan of elective hip patients preoperatively reduces post operative urine retention

Method:

Discussing relevance with development nurse and facilitator

Relevant?Not relevant?

Keywords - searching in databases:Cochrane, Cinahl and Pub.med.

Systematically Cochrane review

Critical evaluation using checklists

Sparring with librarian and authorized representative from Clearinghouse

Conclusion:

The included studies showed statistical significans for orthopaedic surgery patients to develop Post Operative Urine Retention (POUR). No studies concluded that preoperatively bladder scan prevented POUR.

But in a nursing perspective bladderscan preoperatively seems to make sense. One of the studies showed data from bladderscan preoperatively - 21 patients had urine volume > 300 ml after urination.

Further investigation is needed

Perspectives for Future Practice:

• Thesis initiated and based on applied research, ongoing research work

and development in practice

• E.g. ph.D. teaches nursing students and ”assists with guidance” (in

cooperation with lecturerer) students are obliged to write an article –

are obliged to participate in conferences mutual win-win

mutual win-win
